I am not scared about the size all I believe is Benn is a good fighter and will put eubank jr Down definitely
Think Benn is the better fighter and on the way up but the size difference will probably be too much to overcome vs Junior
Conner is ferocious, less experienced than Chris much smaller, will be a very tough fight for him if he wins it will be an epic victory. Chris like AJ can’t win if he does bully bashing the little fellow, if he loses written off?
